Neurotechnology boosts memory without surgery
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have combined virtual reality, non-invasive brain stimulation and advanced brain imaging techniques to improve spatial navigation in healthy participants. The study is a first step in addressing dementia in an aging population without medication or surgery.
On the way to light-controlled medicine
Research
PSI
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have succeeded in elucidating the structure of specific photoreceptors. With their help, it may be possible to switch cellular activities on and off using light. This capability could become an important tool in biological research and medical applications.
Modeling the minutia of motor manipulation with AI
Research
EPFL
An AI research collaboration led by EPFL professor Alexander Mathis creates a model which provides deep insights into hand movement, which is an essential step for the development of neuroprosthetics and rehabilitation technologies.
An Unparalleled Map of the Brain-Spinal Cord Connection
Research
EPFL
Researchers at EPFL unlock a detailed understanding of brain and spinal cord interactions. The tool paves the way for future research breakthroughs and innovative therapeutic approaches.
Tracking behaviour to understand the brain
Research
EPFL
Scientist Mackenzie W. Mathis, a professor at EPFL and winner of the Swiss Science Prize Latsis 2024, has developed pioneering artificial intelligence algorithms in behavioural neuroscience.
Flexible tentacle electrodes precisely record brain activity
Research
ETH Zurich
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed ultra-flexible brain probes that accurately record brain activity without causing tissue damage. This opens up new avenues for the treatment of a range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
